Without question, @phyrrus9's generosity Is second to none.

For my usability, Ram Is the first thing I looked at and I'm glad I prioritized It. Running 6 VMs simultaneously, along with heaps of tabs open In FF and viewing the available Ram Is a delight.

How much memory are you looking at running?

32GB. If I go with Xeons, then I'll have more upgrade space available, but I doubt that I'll need it.

Good move. If the upgrade capacity Is there, I'd seriously look at considering It.

My MOBO can accommodate 64GB of Ram (I have two slots spare), so I have no hesitation to hit another 2 x 16GB sticks at any time. Even If I don't currently utilize It, I have no doubt It will be used for future expansion/needs.
